What, you may ask, is an "Uppa Bubba"? The picture should clue you in. Are you confused yet? Mary Joyce's vocabulary has been growing by leaps and bounds lately. One of her favorite words is "moon." However, she was generalizing "moon" as not just the actual moon, but also "stars." Logical conclusion for a not-quite-two year old mind. When she would point at a star and say "moon," I would say "star," and very often would sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." So, last night she pointed at the star on the Christmas tree on her stocking and said, "Uppa Bubba."
Can you figure out why?
"Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
UP ABOVE THE world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are."
Leave it to Mary Joyce to zero in on "up above the" (also known as "uppa bubba"). These moments are priceless... :-)

Nice new word!
We're sure that "uppa bubba" will soon be one of the favorite Xmas words.
Our best wishes from Seville.

Too cute! That will be one for the scrapbooks :-) We're still trying to teach Kylie that a kitty and puppy are cats and dogs but they are their babies. Kylie "No that's a dog not a puppy Momma..." So get ready it may never end :-)

Too funny! Enjoy all these precious moments and write them down. I remember some of the cute things my boys said but not near enough of them.
